This podcast is an update of the philosophy behind my blog and the way I approach stocks in good times and bad. I review how I determine when to buy stocks, when to sell them, and what to sell. I also discuss how the portfolio management system is able to internally automatically respond to changing market environments. ***NOTE*** the last ten minutes were not posted on the original podcast. I finished up the podcast on 7/7/06, and started where there is a little overlap. Sorry about the inconvenience this may have caused anyone. Please let me know if there are any other glitches on my podcasts! Bob

Inspired by "Prairie Home Companion" (maybe I should stay away from movies? ), I sing a song, "The Fox"....old American Folk Song, and comment on Helix Energy Solutions, a stock I sold today even though the stock was climbing in today's market.
